Map

The Wireless Map page displays a graphical representation of current wireless device connections on your network including wireless LAN controllers, access points, and clients. Initially, only controllers and access points may be visible. As you zoom in, associated clients appear in proximity to their access points. Color-coded SSIDs (wireless network names) are displayed between access points and clients. A legend is available at the bottom right of the page to show the wireless network names and associated colors. At the upper right corner of each controller and access point icon is a color coded indicator representing device status. Device status indicators are customizable. For additional information, see Changing the device state colors or icons.

Important: To ensure the Wireless map page displays properly, limit your map to less than 1800 devices (APs + WLCs + Clients).

You can click on any icon on the map page to launch a dialog containing detailed information about that device. Clicking on a Controller icon displays the following active information:

• MAC. The MAC address specific to the controller.
• IP. The IP address assigned to the controller.
• Manufacturer. The brand name of the controller.
• Model. The specific name and/or number assigned to this type of controller by the manufacturer.
• Location. The physical location of the controller hardware.
• Serial Number. The unique identification number assigned to this specific controller by the manufacturer.
• CPU Utilization. The current percentage of CPU usage by the controller.
• Memory Utilization. The current percentage of memory usage by the controller.
• # managed APs. The total number of access points managed by the controller.
• # managed SSIDs. The total number of SSIDs managed by the controller.
• # associated clients. The total number of clients currently connected to access points managed by the controller.
• # rogues detected. The total number of rogue devices currently detected by access points managed by the controller.

Clicking on an autonomous access point icon displays the following active information:

• MAC. The MAC address specific to the access point.
• IP. The IP address assigned to the access point.
• # rogues detected. The number of rogue devices currently detected by the access point.
• Manufacturer. The brand name of the access point.
• Model. The specific name and/or number assigned to this type of access point by the manufacturer.
• Location. The physical location of the access point hardware.
• Serial Number. The unique identification number assigned to this specific access point by the manufacturer.
• Software Version. The number indicating the software release running on the access point.
• CPU Utilization. The current percentage of CPU usage by the access point.
• Memory Utilization. The current percentage of memory usage by the access point.
• Tx. The current transmission speed of data sent in bytes per second.
• Rx. The current transmission speed of data received in bytes per second.
• Average RSSI. The average received signal strength of all clients on the access point expressed as a percentage.
• Average SNR. The average signal to noise ratio of all clients on the access point expressed as a percentage.
• SSIDs. The number of Service Set Identifiers on the access point/The number of clients seen on the access point.

Note: Below the SSIDs listing, the name of each individual SSID is displayed with the number of clients connected to that SSID.

Clicking on a lightweight access point icon displays the following active information:

• Managing WLC. The name of the Wireless LAN Controller managing the access point.
• MAC. The MAC address specific to the access point.
• IP. The IP address assigned to the access point.
• # rogues detected. The number of rogue devices currently detected by the access point.
• Manufacturer. The brand name of the access point.
• Model. The specific name and/or number assigned to this type of access point by the manufacturer.
• Location. The physical location of the access point hardware.
• Serial Number. The unique identification number assigned to this specific access point by the manufacturer.
• Tx. The current transmission speed of data sent in bytes per second.
• Rx. The current transmission speed of data received in bytes per second.
• Average RSSI. The average received signal strength of all clients on the access point expressed as a percentage.
• Average SNR. The average signal to noise ratio of all clients on the access point expressed as a percentage.
• SSIDs. The number of Service Set Identifiers on the access point/The number of clients seen on the access point.

Note: Below the SSIDs listing, the name of each individual SSID is displayed with the number of clients connected to that SSID.

Note: The Wireless Map utilizes the same iconography for both lightweight and autonomous access points.

Clicking on a client icon displays the following active information:

• MAC. The MAC address specific to the access point.
• IP. The IP address assigned to the access point.
• AP. The name of the access point to which the client is connected.
• SSID. The Service Set Identifier the client is using.
• Connection. The start time and duration of the client's current session (up to 6 hours).
• Average RSSI. The average received signal strength of all clients on the access point expressed as a percentage.
• Average SNR. The average signal to noise ratio of all clients on the access point expressed as a percentage.
• Current Tx. The current transmission speed of data sent in bytes per second.
• Current Rx. The current transmission speed of data received in bytes per second.
• Bytes Sent. The amount of data sent by the client during the current session (up to 6 hours).
• Bytes Received. The amount of data received by the client during the current session (up to 6 hours).

Important: Wireless automatically hides unavailable or not applicable data. For example, Aruba devices do not report RSSI or SNR statistics. If you click on a lightweight access point manufactured by Aruba, Average RSSI and Average SNR do not appear in the detailed information dialog for the device.

Note: If a device is reported with an IP address of 0.0.0.0, this indicates its controller is unable to obtain an IP address from the device or the access point cannot determine it.
